Korean streetwear label FLOOD released its lookbook for the Summer 2018 season with nostalgic sensibilities. The collection taps the early 2000s for inspiration, seeing design cues from the era including the graphics that resemble FUBU's logo. The capsule is comprised of staple streetwear silhouettes including relaxed tees, high socks, sweaters, vests, hoodies, loose-fitting pants and denim jeans. Alongside the nostalgic logo infusion, there are also graphics of flames throughout the collection as well, specifically on long-sleeve shirt offerings.
The color palette of the new range includes popping hues of neon yellow, bright green, blue, black, orange, white and red. The entire retro-inspired FLOOD Summer 2018 collection is now available to shop online.
